Cell Phones

Many people deprived of a phone Couldn’t function when they were alone For in this day and age It’s the norm to engage With the screen of the cell that they own. Human contact has suffered a blow For technology’s now status quo. We might not recognize Someone just by his eyes ‘Less they’re lit by a battery’s glow. Makes me wonder if old Alex Bell, If brought back to earth just for a spell Would be more than just shocked But would have his world rocked Watching everyone glued to a cell!
